The Whitby Mall is composed of a ground floor of enclosed retail space and an upper floor of commercial office space. The project was led by Anthony Lang, president of Tije Ltd., the company that owned and managed the mall at the time. By 2000, anchor tenant
Walmart had been replaced with a
Sobeys that lacks direct access to the mall, and commercial office tenants began to close or relocate, leading to a decline in customers and tenancy at Whitby Mall. by 2017 it was cited by the
Toronto Star as a mall "struggling to survive" amid the
retail apocalypse of the 2010s. On July 3, 2019, a shooting occurred during a dispute in the Whitby Mall's parking lot. The two suspects in the incident were arrested in
Owen Sound on July 6, 2019, on multiple firearms-related charges. ==Anchors==
